  • Hippos and Moose

    Hippos and Moose

    And just what do those two have in common, you may wonder?  I’m so glad you asked.  One of the things Peter Grant has mentioned, when the topic of dangerous critters arose, is the sheer wrongheadedness of American Tourists in Africa. “You see,” he says, with a shake of his head, “they have seen the…

  • Art Peregrinations

    Art Peregrinations

    A bit under the weather today, but MidJourney rolled out V4, so I’ve been playing with it. This is a whole other level of AI art and as much as I have been doing? This is only getting better. So much fun. Honestly I could play with it like a game for hours. The story…

    Eat This While You Read That: Joelle Presby

     It’s rare I can time a ETWYRT post with a book launch, but The Debare Snake Launcher came out this week, and thanks to a timely author reminder, I have the recipe for you to enjoy while you read your fresh new book! The book opens with food, but not the stuff you’d willingly eat.…

  • Big Damn Heroes

    Big Damn Heroes

    I’ve been lucky enough in my life to have met some men and women I’d call heroes. All of them, to a soul, would reject that appellation. That’s part of the charm, to be honest. Self-aware heroics… aren’t.  They were, they will tell you if they are willing to talk about it at all, just…

  • An American Hero Needs Help

    An American Hero Needs Help

    I’m going to get a ration for the title of the post, but I mean it, so…  Lawdog needs help, folks. He’s been backed into a corner by corruption and betrayal, and it costs money to fight that. If you can’t add money to the fund, you can share the word to help this man…

  • Itty Bitty Teeny Weeny Book

    Itty Bitty Teeny Weeny Book

      So, on a whim, and because I’d used Vellum to get Zombie Maggots ready for ebook publication, I ran the print version as well. Why not? It’s all one button push. Doing the cover isn’t a big deal for me. Besides, I was curious.  Well.  Let me tell you.  This thing is so wee!…

  • Odd Prompts: Haunted

    Odd Prompts: Haunted

    The mouse fitted into his hand poorly, the size of it subtly wrong, the arc leaving too much room for his palm, so he had to tense muscles he shouldn’t to manipulate it. It was just one more droplet into the pool of rage growing within him. He clicked on the tiny x to close…

  • No, it’s not Nano time

    No, it’s not Nano time

    Nearly done with N’inktober, so far, I haven’t missed a day. Some days were better than others, but understanding how I could do a month of daily art without a hiccup, when so many on the art feeds struggle for this… requires a look at what I do on a routine basis. I make art…

  • New Books Today!

    New Books Today!

    I have a new release, but so do some friends and fellow authors, so you’ll have plenty to read this weekend!  Zombie Maggots is out just in time for Halloween! It’s available in ebook and paperback for your reading pleasure. If you’d like to know more about the writing process of it, check out my…

  • Composing a Stew

    Composing a Stew

    Playing with flavors in the kitchen is a happy place for me. I’d come home after the Blanket Fort livestream yesterday, and was standing in the kitchen happily pulling odd containers out of the fridge, and possibly humming to myself, when the First Reader walked in. I looked up at him, giggling. “I’m composing!” He…

  • The Black Thumb

    The Black Thumb

    The secret to having a green thumb is persistence. Yes, you’ll kill plants, but if you keep studying, and trying, eventually you’ll have something live. Oddly enough, what kills most houseplants? Overwatering.  This is not to say I have a green thumb. I have not. In fact, this summer trying to garden in Texas was…

  • Odd Prompts: Never

    Odd Prompts: Never

    Never say never I prompted myself. I’ve been feeling like I’ll never be able to write again. These last two years have played merry havoc with my ability to write. There are days I say to myself ‘never again.’ I should just hang it all up. And then… then I see a lovely review on…
